Indestructible – 200 courier backpacks made from Cisco advertising banners

Ten-metre-high Cisco advertising banners were turned into 480 square metres of tarpaulin material, which was then used to make 200 pro:Kurier backpacks. Sturdy, waterproof – and each one is unique.

Indestructible – 200 courier backpacks made from Cisco advertising banners
  • Edition: 200 pieces
  • Model: pro:Kurier V1 backpack
  • Material: 480 square metres of the customer’s used advertising banners
  • Finishing: Digital print logo
  • Production: EU, Poland
The first life: ten-metre-high Cisco advertising towers carrying the later bag motifs
Delivered banner material, bundled and labelled for production
Detail: digitally printed logo with the Cisco lettering on the finished backpack
Finished Kurier backpacks lined up, each with a different section of banner

What can you do with ten-metre-high Cisco advertising banners if you want to recycle the material rather than throw it away? Cool courier backpacks. The idea for upcycling came from the Cisco team themselves; together, we set up the production of 200 one-of-a-kind backpacks.

A brilliant real-world example of the circular economy and waste prevention: the backpacks, made from sturdy, waterproof tarpaulin, are virtually indestructible, and because each piece is cut from a different part of the giant banners, each one features a different design.

Thank you for the great collaboration. We look forward to the next sustainable upcycling projects.
